Good or bad ideea

[Biggie_mac]

I have recently noticed that one of the "competition"'s site is in front of mine when searching for a particular word and their site has NO keywords. Now I've asked around and found out that Google searches in the contents of the site too. With this beeing said I'm trying to figure out if it would be a smart ideea of puting the words as text in my site(with white colour so as nobody could see it) instead of puting them as keywords in Meta...I mean are keywords more important than the text(contents of the site) itself or is there any rule that Googlebot uses when searching on a site? I would really want to know all of this. 10x a lot. And by the way, are there any sites that reveal how many times was a word(romanian word unfortunately) looked for by google or yahoo?(Something like "the words "led flashlight" was searched X times this month or year). 10x

Now I've asked around and found out that Google searches in the contents of the site too.

The META Keywords tag is almost useless.

Put your keyword in the title, headings and in the text.

(with white colour so as nobody could see it)

Don't do this as Google sees it and penalize you. Make it natural.

is there any rule that Googlebot uses when searching on a site?

Google is using thousands of calculations when looking at a site for the ranking for words.

I would really want to know all of this.
